The One Hundredth Infantry Division, also known as the Century Division, was a unit of the United States Army during World War II. Activated in 1942, it was primarily composed of soldiers from the state of Kentucky and was part of the larger effort to bolster American forces in Europe. The division saw significant combat in the European Theater, particularly during the campaigns in France and Germany. The division is notable for its distinctive shoulder patch, which features a blue and white design symbolizing its heritage. After the war, the One Hundredth Infantry Division was inactivated in 1945, but its legacy continues to be honored by veterans and military historians alike.
